The report server was unable to validate Ask Question

the integrity of encrypted data

The report server was


unable to validate the
2 integrity of encrypted
data in the database.
(rsCannotValidateEncr
yptedData) .

Could not restore the


encryption key, so I
deleted the keys and
tried to regenerate
with rskeymngt with no
luck. Getting

'The report server


was unable to
validate the
integrity of
encrypted data in
the database.
(rsCannotValidateE
ncryptedData)'

I get that error when


accessing
http://localhost/Repor
tServer and when
running rskeymgmt -s .

Not sure what next


step to take. I have
reports that users
need to access.

Inside rs

the reports but it is
asking for data

them and get The

4 working.

So it looks like in order


to generate a new key
I need to update the
Report Server Service
account. After that
restart the sql server
reporting services.

I no longer have the


encryption error, but
now I am asked for a
log in to the data
source after clicking
on the report. I enter
the creds again but
get 'The
ConnectionString
property has not been
initialized.'
